Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

The Steelers landed square in the muddy middle: C. The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Monroe Freeling went at the 14th pick, a good 41 picks before the board was ready.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
If Monroe Freeling and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
They reached a country mile for Monroe Freeling at the 14th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick46
Rnd2
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
